Hi,
I've also encountered this problem when running a ps after recompiling a
brand new kernel. Apparently, ps (and probably other applications) try
to fetch the System.map in / so if you just symlink it to the new
System.map file it should solve the issue.
Regards,
Chris

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails,
admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
